| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? I have both signal magic power and MAC's in my system. I asked Frank to use the Wattgate terminations on the Signal Magic Powers which he did for a nominal upcharge. I really like those Wattgate terminated PC's on my amps, where the Merinco termin... | |
| Considering new amp - Mccormack I've had two Adcoms, the 535 and the 5500. I've also had two McCormack's, the DNA 0.5 and 1.0 monoblocks. The McCormacks are head and shoulders above the Adcoms in every way. I had severe listener fatigue problems with the Adcoms, which improved w... | |
| Clarinet concertos anyone? Lots of good stuff above, but I didn't see the Messiaen "Quartet for the end of time." That is an amazing piece of music which I had the pleasure to see performed this year by Antares. Also like the Bartok Contrasts, and the Karl Maria von Weber c... | |

| $1k preamp for McCormack DNA-125 recommendations? Sersalpha,For what its worth I've been using a Promitheus Ref 4 with my DNA-1 monoblocks for about a year. It is a very satisfactory pairing to my ears and is well within your budget. It is much, much, better than the TLC-1 and Endler attenuators ... | |
